Open Up (Leftfield song)


"Open Up" is a song recorded by Leftfield and featuring John Lydon. It was released as a single on 1 November 1993. The single reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and number 39 in both Australia and New Zealand. NME reported in their 18 September 1993 issue, "This is the record that people have always wanted Lydon to do."
"The Dust Brothers Remix" is an early remix by The Chemical Brothers, before they were forced to change to their current name. On later compilations, the remix appears as "The Chemical Brothers Remix" and is over nine minutes in duration. The longer version adds more than a minute of extra material around the 6–7-minute mark. The "I Hate Pink Floyd Mix" and the "Open Dub" were remixed by The Sabres of Paradise. The other 1993 versions are by Leftfield themselves.
The song made an appearance on the Hackers soundtrack, and it is also the title track to the Acclaim baseball video game All-Star Baseball 2000.
